Dear Judge Gardephe:

March 21,2014

Sheba R. Abraham. Aliana M. Payrct, Esq.

I understand that Mathew Martoma was recently found guilty of insider trading and to commit insider trading and will be sentenced you. I am on behalf Mathew. as a family friend, to provide you with some insight I hope you will consider in reducing any sentence you impose on him.

By way of introduction, my background includes earning a Bachelor's in Accounting and a Juris Doctorate, as well as professional experience as a analyst a publicly-traded engineering company before becoming an attorney. I am aware of the significance of the offense for which Mathew has been convicted. With this understanding, I have trusted Mathew, and always will, without any hesitance.

I have known Mathew for over twenty years. and members a small Indian Christian community in Orlando, Florida. Mathew's has since 1992 to establish and grow a church for our small group. Mathew has always been a role model to all of the children in our community and remains an inspiration to all of us today I was blessed to have his example as I grew up, and am thankful to Mathew and his family for providing me the guidance and steadfast encouragement throughout my most formative years.

Mathew demonstrated to me the value of hard work. humility, and constant love of God and family. There is no doubt in my mind that Mathew has the family and community that will support him and love him. Even more apparent, there is no doubt in my mind there is a family and community that needs Mathew.

His three young children and wife are innocent victims in this catastrophe and should not be punished by our judicial system; any sentence on Mathew impact and wife in a negative way far greater than the benetit of a sentence

The children and adults of my community are thankful for Mathew's role in our lives and will eagerly await his loving mentorship again. We humbly ask that you consider relationships in determining Mathew's sentence.

Sincerely,

R.

Southern District ofNew York United States Courthouse 40 Foley Square New York, NY I 0007

RE: Request for Leniency for Mathew Martoma

Honorable Judge Paul G. Gardephe,

My purpose in writing is to request the most leniency possible as you sentence Mathew Martoma for his recent

conviction of insider trading. My name is Dr. George Achett. I am a pediatrician at Metropolitan Pediatric Specialists in Minnesota. My wife is a pediatric nephrologist at the University of Minnesota and Children's

Hospitals of Minnesota.

I first met Mathew 12 years ago when he got engaged to my cousin Rosemary. Rosemary and I were

completing our pediatric residencies at the same hospital. Residents keep grueling work hours. They have limited opportunity to travel and almost no time to keep up with anyone outside of a call schedule. That's why I was so impressed with the lengths that Mathew went to work around Rosemary's hectic residency schedule while they were engaged. Mathew flew to Chicago just about every other weekend to see her and provide her with some much needed respite from the daily grind oflong hours, limited sleep and general loneliness. Mathew managed all this travel while he was living in California and attending business school himself

Rosemary is very accomplished in her own right, but I think her connection to Mathew is a defining part of her character. While many people know Rosemary to be a strong person, I remember the day to day isolation was tougher for her than any of us anticipated. While she didn't let it show, she eventually needed to take a leave of absence from the program. She felt her life was incomplete without Mathew and decided to focus on moving to a program in the same state as Mathew. Transferring programs in the middle of one's residency is

no easy feat, in fact it is almost unheard of, which is why I thought Rosemary was kidding at first, but such was her dedication to Mathew. To her credit she found a new residency-match in Boston, where she and Mathew moved in the summer of2003.

I attended their wedding in Florida and they mine a few years later. Over the years, we have seen them in my

hometown of Chicago, and they have visited us in our old home in Seattle.

I can easily see that Mathew is a loving husband and father, as well as a strong family man. He cares for his children with discipline and compassion. Mathew's children- J , A and D - are so well behaved and thoughtful towards our family members, and we know it must be a reflection of values that Mathew holds dear. My most recent memory with Mathew is his attendance at my father's funeral nearly a year ago. While I was devastated by my father's passing, I knew too that Mathew was in the middle of his trial. I appreciate how Mathew nevertheless requested Your Honor permission to attend my father's funeral, which meant so much to my family. Rosemary and her children arrived so quickly, they were able to spend a few moments


with my father while he was still alive. I owe special thanks to Your Honor as well for granting Mathew

permiSSion.

Now that the jury has reached its verdict, the decision falls toY our Honor to think through the most

appropriate sentence. In my career as a pediatrician of 11 years I have seen many broken families, as well as the devastation inflicted on innocent children who are caught up in the middle of crises which force separation.

While I may not understand all of the societal benefits achieved by placing Mathew in jail, I do recognize the

specific harms that will directly befall his children and wife in his absence. Mathew's children should not be

deprived ofhis loving attention during this period of their life. I request you to consider Mathew's children as negatively affected parties in this sentencing. Mathew's family has endured much hardship already with this

trial and verdict, and I hope you take this into account at the time of sentencing.

We are all praying that he can be spared jail time,

George Achett, MD
